Lara chuckled. Money bag and yet, now owns her house. Does it annoy them that she is going to be like them soon, that she's also going to be an employee of the Textile and fashion home? “Get out of my way Tolu” Lara requested. If she's pregnant like she claimed, she should be seated somewhere, quietly and let her baby have a peaceful haven. “You must be dreaming,Lara, to think that I will take you back. You want to work here, get closer to me and want me to rethink why I divorced you?” Mike taunted, glaring at her in irritation. “Oh…I expected you to have moved on. Why are you still dwelling in the past? Wake up to reality and accept the fact that I dumped an imbecile like you and I'm happy that I did…” Lara mocked and chuckled aloud. “You!” Mike felt humiliated. She should be nursing her wounds and secretly hoping that he spares her a glance. Not her arrogant demeanor. “And I swear to you that you will not get hired by the Textile and fashion house as long a
Dr Will, seeing the drama that just folded before him, he concluded that they're perhaps lovers at a time and the woman got pregnant. She doesn't want him to have anything to do with her baby. But then it amazes him how the mighty Curtis Rodney was so worried about this woman. He kept asking him if the baby was fine. He was so restless until he told him she'd been stabilised and the baby is out of harm's way. It turned out that he was worried about his child. This is a good sign of a man that would be responsible if things go well. Whatever, that's not his business. Whatever is ensuing between him and this woman, has got nothing to do with what he'd been trained to do. He smiled broadly and said: “Well, when the ultrasound was carried out, we saw two growing grains…” Dr Will was saying when Lara interrupted him. “You mean two babies are growing in my belly?” She asked. This is both bad and good news. Bad because she needs to prepare for days to come in double
Does it mean Mike lied to her all along? He told her he hadn't slept with Lara for at least a month before their divorce. How then did she become pregnant? The divorce is over two months already. It's going to be three months in a couple of days. How can she be pregnant with his child and hide it away from Mike? She wants to blackmail them in years to come. But she's not going to let that happen. How she wishes the CEO doesn't have to stroll to the scene at the moment. Lara would have bled to death and she wouldn't spare her a glance. But then, the story hadn't ended yet, in fact it had just begun. Mike must explain things to her. Mike in his office couldn't concentrate on anything else. What is happening with Lara? Is she pregnant and hiding it away from him because they are divorced? But there's no way she can be pregnant. He never failed in ensuring that he does his assignment well in ensuring she never gets pregnant. While this was going on in Mi
“You mean the test result is negative?” Lara asked, as if she couldn't read the report herself. Her eyes welled up with tears as she glanced at the report again. She was holding it, staring at it but still asked the doctor the question anyways. Dr JJ Smart nodded calmly. She knows the feeling of such expectation, especially from someone who'd been expecting and looking forward to getting a positive test report. She's a woman, and a mother. That feeling has never been a pleasant one. “Yes, Mrs Blake. You're not pregnant yet, the test result is negative” she replied calmly. She saw Lara's teary eyes and stretched her hands, taking hers and giving it a soft squeeze. “You mean I'm not pregnant?” Lara asked again. She was all excited that morning. Her period was delayed by a day. She'd always wish that her period didn't just come late but missed for the next nine months. She got ready quickly, skipping breakfast in excitement because she wants to get to the hospital and h
Lara's heart was beating very fast. Her chest was moving up and down, visibly seen from her dress as her complexion went ashen in shock. For the first few seconds, she couldn't say anything, she'd just lost her ability to speak at the moment. In her wildest imagination, she'd never watched this kind of scene, displaying before her in a movie before let alone a live cinema, taking place in the bedroom she shared with her husband and on their matrimonial bed with her husband as the main character in the show. When her handbag dropped, leaving a noise,the lovers casually glanced at her direction and looked away, intensifying the love making as if she was invincible to them. Their moans became louder, and Mike increased his speed, putting his hands on her pelvic as he pulled her down in rhythm over his dick. “You'll be the end of me…oh..baby..faster…” he urged, moaning out loud, raising his head to take her nipple as her dangling boops swerved in rhythm to his thrust.
Lara remembered. Tolu had advised her after her wedding to put Mike's name on everything her parents left for her. He would manage it for her since he'd asked her to be a full home wife. And she did, just that. She shifted her gaze to Tolu and the latter shrugged triumphantly. She doesn't seem to feel affected by her piercing gaze at all. “Fine. Since you already suggested a divorce, you've made it easier than I thought” Mike declared and pulled his slacks on. He strolled to the bedside drawer and pulled out a brown envelope. He walked back to stand before Lara and brought the papers out of the envelope, stretching it out to her “Sign it and get the fuck out of my house” Before taking the papers, Lara fixed her gaze on Mike. Just like that, their marriage was ending on the account of infidelity. He'd said he loved her countless times in the past. He'd told her she's his life and that he'll love her for the rest of his life. Was he lying back then or he'
Lara stayed indoors for days. She just doesn't know where and how to pick the pieces of her life together and begin again. But she knows, that's the only option left for her. She must rise and begin again. Endless tears, sleepless nights have left Lara with one decision, artificial insemination. She'll have a baby, and raise him single handedly. Having a child had always been her desire and now, she'll have it without Mike or anyone else. She's going to prove to everyone who cares to know that she's not barren. She also can be a mother. With a decision made, Lara returned to the hospital a few days later. She arrived at the hospital and went to see Dr JJ. The older woman beamed with a smile when she saw Lara. She guessed that she'd made up her mind to go for the insemination as she'd advised her. “I am opting for the option of insemination,” Lara explained. She doesn't need Mike's sperm for an insemination, she's ready to use any active sperm from the sperm Bank.
At the hospital, Lara was offered different pictures of men, whose sperm she would prefer to have her baby made of. She glanced at it and settled for the one from a model. She likes the looks and handsomeness of the man. It would be great if her son had such looks. When she was ready, Dr JJ came over to the insemination room and apologised “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, the CEO of the hospital just finished, we have to save his vial of sperm until he brings his surrogate candidate” she explained briefly. Lara smiled. So it happens that even the wealthy ones also use an insemination to get their women pregnant. That's fine, she hopes her procedure gets successful. As she laid on the couch, her legs apart, the sperm was carefully transferred into her. She watched as the tadpole-like cell swam swiftly towards her egg. “The procedure is successful, Lara. You should check back in ten days, for a checkup and see if it was successful” Dr JJ instructed. She also t

Waking up groggily, Curtis Rodney stepped out of bed but his heart was heavy. What would he do to get this stubborn woman to come to terms with his request? He could walk away from her and turn a blind eye on her and the baby in her belly but can he live a peaceful life henceforth knowing that his child is being carried and raised by some poor woman? No, he can't do it. What does she want then? He would have to come up with a persuasion to do it. If she doesn't still agree with him, he'll force her to accept his decision. Still stretching on her bed, Lara's phone chirped and she took it from its stand. It's Kayla and she answered it. “Hi Kayla” Lara greeted, yawning and feeling sleepy again. She loves to sleep more these days. “Hi, Lara, good morning. Sorry it's coming so late but you have an interview at the Textiles and fashion home. It's slated for 8am, can you make it babygirl?” Kayla chimed. Her bad. She should have given her a half assurance the pre
“Love happened to me. That thing called love is a plague,a disease and a putrefying illness that is capable of blinding the eyes, paralysing the sense of reasoning and strong enough to inject its victim with the venom called stupidity that has no cure. That was what happened to me. It's love that plagued me and ruined me, leaving me with a wounded heart that would never heal soon” Lara responded, her tears giving way. She sniffled and wiped her tears with a tissue. The atmosphere within the car suddenly went silent except for Lara's sniffle. “I'm sorry” Kayla Davis apologised. She didn't expect that Lara had this to say about love. Love has injured her innocent mind and left deep holes and scars behind. But she was simply unfortunate in love. Real love still exists. Sweet love, filled with romance and appreciation. There are moments of misunderstanding but they will be sorted out with love. Doesn't love conquer all errors? They arrived at a booth. Kayla ord
“I'm sorry Dr JJ that I have to interrupt you while talking. But please if you invited me here to tell me that I was inseminated with Curtis Rodney's sperm, I'm sorry but I have no interest in such topics. I came to the hospital for an insemination, I paid my bills in full and I got what I wanted. Whatever happens after that, it doesn't concern me at all. I'm sorry if I sounded rude,but this child in my belly is mine exclusively. I don't want to know anything else besides the fact that my baby is mine and mine alone” Lara declared and stood up, she was ready to leave. “This isn't your fault Lara. You paid in full. The services were rendered appropriately except that my assistant made a mistake in sample labelling. That singular mistake has just cost me my practicing license and would possibly send someone else to jail. I thought you could help. But don't worry about it. And I'm sorry if I bother you” Dr JJ apologised and wore a forced smile. She knows how impo
Lara stepped out and walked away. She was uncomfortable. How can Curtis Rodney be the father of her unborn baby, of all the men in Michigan, why does it have to be him? Her mood was soiled. How can she go ahead and submit her proposals in such a distorted mood? Oh gosh, why does she have to encounter this man again. Curtis Rodney couldn't believe his ears. There are women who are crushing over him. Many wish that he would spare them a glance and some just a wave of hand and yet there is someone like this crazy woman who detest the sight of him. Doesn't she know his net worth, nor what she stands to gain as his baby mama? Does she know how many women would envy her and desire to be in her shoes as his baby mama? Even if they do art ways after the baby is born, being the mother of his heir, does she understand the prestige and benefits that comes with it and her ability to have access to him and their child? And the stupid thing she could say is that she doesn't
Curtis Rodney just stared at her. What kind of a woman is this? Why does she act like a psychopath that he would readily describe her as? What has he done? “She told me you were going to decide her fate. You were going to have her practicing license revoked, and you actually did it? Have you no sympathy for others? Do you put others in your shoes before acting? Years of training and years of practicing all gone down the drain because she crossed you? You can hire an employee and have her fired the very next day. You can send others to jail without batting an eyelid. Who the hell do you think you are? Because you are wealthy, you think you are God? You think other humans are inferior to you and that you are the most important creature that is walking the earth? How can you do that to her, how can you not consider her years of loyalty, how can you just take away her source of livelihood and feel comfortable doing that? You're a bad guy Curtis Rodney, cru
Lara stamped her feet violently in her heart. What did he want from her? She'd stayed away from his company to avoid being shot, but he came to find her. “What does he want from me?” Lara asked, turning to fix her gaze on the men standing before her. They invariably were blocking her paths. “There's only one way for you to know..” the bodyguards trailed off,but signalling to her to move. Lara doesn't know if she was scared of what they were capable of doing to her or she went towards the car because she feels a bit of respect for the brat, but however, she got close to the car and paused. One of the bodyguards held the door for her to get in, not opening the door entirely but barely enough to let her figure get in. The coldness that hit Lara when the door was opened was inviting. She lingered, shifted her gaze on the man holding the door and he tucked her to get in. She peered in and saw the brat working on his computer and not paying attention to he
